[PATCH 12/12] perf jitdump: Validate unwinding sizes against record payload

jit_repipe_unwinding_info() copies unwinding_size and eh_frame_hdr_size
from the jitdump record into jd-> fields without checking them against
the actual payload size.  Downstream, jit_add_eh_frame_info() in
genelf.c computes unwinding_table_size = unwinding_size -
eh_frame_hdr_size, which underflows when eh_frame_hdr_size >
unwinding_size.  The result is passed as d->d_size to libelf, causing
an OOB heap read into the output ELF file.

Validate that unwinding_size fits within the record payload and that
eh_frame_hdr_size does not exceed unwinding_size before allocating or
storing the values, so a bogus record cannot force a large allocation
that is then discarded.

mapped_size is likewise taken from the record and was narrowed into an
int for the mmap2 len computation in jit_repipe_code_load() and
jit_repipe_code_move(); values above INT_MAX would turn negative,
producing a wrong mmap2 length.  Use uint64_t for usize so the value
cannot truncate.

Fixes: 0284fecd13b6db3e ("perf jit: Add unwinding support")
